Nov 3, 2009 12 oz bottle. Clear amber/light brown with a foamy sticky off white head that leaves some lacing. Aroma of pine resin, cat piss, citrus and an underlying earthy quality. Mostly bitter flavor with just enough malt sweetness to balance it out, finishes long and bitter. Medium body with average carbonation, and a dry hop mouth feel. Very nice IIPA, love the Simcoe, my new BFF!

Nov 1, 2009 pours an amber/orange color with t medium light tan head...fairly lively looking. aroma is maltier than i thought with lots of caramel sweetness, light fruit, and some pine. aroma remids me of a barleywine (how old is the bottle?) flavor is much the same but with more piney hops than i expected and some grapefruit in the end. medium mouthfeel with average cartbonation and a bitter and dry grapefruity finish that lingers. i was not overly impressed with this beer.

Oct 25, 2009 Pours a dirty golden orange.
Nose is like christmas extract, just pine and pine and pine.
Taste is piny with a harsh bitterness, lots of hop resin, more pine, slight hints of citrus.

Oct 18, 2009 Cheers JoeMcphee for this bottle. Nice aroma of hops, caramel and fruit. Stained head with a hazy orange/amber appearance. Strong hoppy taste, little tinny, pine cone finish. Settles to a smooth rich fruity syrup with still that bitter grapefruit finish.

Oct 15, 2009 Pours this massively hazy copper color like it is almost muddy. Nice white head with great lacing. Aroma is huge. Smells like orange candy, earthy and strong. It almost tastes like hop tea. Nothing but hops, dirt flavor (earthy) and some bitterness. Not sure if I have the placed as a best for me yet. Very interesting though.

Oct 14, 2009 On tap at Rattle n Hum. One of the best doubl IPAs I’ve ever had. Golden copper hue with a medium head. Nose is all hops. Flavor is all hops as well, and the most notable flavor is of pine. At once bitter and sweet. Delicious. Beautiful. Finish is somewhat dry and lip-smacking. Excellent.

A very interesting rather cloudy brownish copper color.
Has a significant off-white head.
A hint of citrus.
Quite a quality IPA.
